More Control: Swing-Arm Table Top Dimmers

Lamps Plus Tip: A wall mounted swing arm lamp can solve a number of problems at once. Adjustable wall lamps provide concentrated task lighting for reading in bed, then move to the other side to help with choosing a pair of socks that actually match. These are sometimes sold in "save-your-marriage" double versions, for those who like to read in bed, but don't want to keep their partners awake. Try an attractive wall mount reading lamp in a den, study or sewing room, perhaps in polished brass, with a Tiffany-style glass shade, or in a variety of contemporary bright colors to match your decor.
